Don’t you wish Mitt Romney would take off the gloves?

Mitt, Harry Reid is the Fat Matt Amorello of 2012.
Somebody has joked that these ludicrous attacks Reid is making on Romney and his tax returns are nothing more than Mormon-on-Mormon crime. And Mitt has responded, but with a chuckle, on a radio show. Mitt, this isn’t a there-he-goes-again moment. Dingy Harry is accusing you of a crime.
Of all the people in the world, U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Godfather II. Doesn’t he remind you of Sen. “Pat Geary,” the totally corrupt solon in the classic movie. Like the hypocritical Geary, Reid puts the blast on Romney for doing something he himself does — refusing to release his taxes.
Mitt, I know James Michael Curley said, “Never complain, never explain.” Generally speaking, he was right. But you’re running against the Outfit here, and there’s nothing they won’t do. Refresh yourself about Barack’s Senate election in Illinois and the suddenly released divorce records of both his Democrat and Republican foes. Recall the 2008 presidential campaign, and the abject lies Obama’s media rumpswabs knowingly peddled. Remember The New York Times [NYT]’ stories about John McCain’s mistress who wasn’t, or Todd Palin’s membership in the Alaska National Party, which likewise was totally false. How many piss-poor columns has Gail Collins written about Seamus the dog on the roof, but Barack Obama actually eating dogs ... crickets please.
Mitt, can’t you find some Republican as sleazy as Harry Reid to start making charges about Barry Soetoro. I mean, you’re running against the capo of the Choom Gang, a guy with multiple names, multiple birthplaces, somebody who gave up his law license for never-explained reasons, a guy with a Social Security number from a state he never lived in.
And you turn the other cheek? You should have given Rich Gorka a raise for ripping into those Barack bumkissers in Poland. Instead, you benched him.
There’s a memorable Mumbles Menino soundcut from a session ABC News once videotaped at City Hall. One of his aides is telling him he’s about to be attacked in a news story by anonymous sources. Mumbles says, just give the reporter a different source, denying the report.
Aide: Who do you want the source to be?
Mumbles: Give (them) ... Mary Shiddacake. Shiddacake.
Aide (baffled): Mary who?
Mumbles: Anybody. Make up the story. If they’re gonna go by “sources,” we’ll go by “sources.”
Need I remind you, Mitt, Mumbles is a Democrat. He’s a dolt, but he knows how to play the game. You don’t send Eric Fehrnstrom out there to paraphrase Joseph Welch’s 1954 retort to Joe McCarthy. How many dumbed-down, “Good Morning America”-watching, EBT card-carrying Obama voters even picked up on the reference?
I’m not saying you pull a Morton Downey Jr. on TV yourself. Long-term, anger doesn’t work on the boob tube. You don’t need the veins on your neck bulging out, like Granny Warren whenever anyone asks her if she’s found any proof yet of her Native American lineage.
Obama can get away with the ad hominem attacks — remember his comments about how physicians needlessly perform amputations to run up their patients’ bills? But he’s one of the Beautiful People and he’s ... well, he’s not a Mormon, let’s leave it at that.
This isn’t slapstick, like John Lakian calling you “Mr. Mormon” in the 1994 Senate primary debate. This is the presidency at stake here.
Where is Mary Shiddacake when you really need her?

sorry for double post had gotten error message
I get Mittens wanting to stay classy but you have to do more than put Gov. Sununu on Fox News with Hannity. Fehrnstrom’s doing “no decency” while Obama is buying every ad on Judge Judy nationwide calling Mitt trash. Mitt could even stay classy if he’s out with relentless positive campaigning all over the place 24/7 but he’s not. Mitt - let’s roll - please?
Please,Howie...we're beggin' ya!
Thanks to massgopguy for the heads up, which I confirmed via the WRKO facebook: A “major programming announcement” will be made today on RKO (and the HC network?) today at 4 pm.
Yeah, we know he’s there for two more years. But is he moving to mornings? All I have heard so far via Mark S of Boston Radio Watch is that it will be a “lineup shakeup”
Hmm.
Morning Guy Howie? (if so will his affiliates still carry him? Most have local morning shows...)
McPhee gone so soon? Or to mornings? Or...
Afternoons with McScreamer? (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!)
Liberal talk shows added? (1510 lost some but maybe someone will pay to put them on RKO. Colon cleaner informercials
would be better)
WHO KNOWS! Tune in at 4.
Yes. At least one person on RKO facebook thinks:
>> bet you Howie is moving to am drive and Michelle to 3-7
we will see
If that's the case then 'RKO is history with me.
The latest I’m hearing from Mark Schnyder of Boston Radio Watch (@bostonradio on twitter) who seems to be “Someone Who Knows” as the track gals would say, is that Howie will NOT be moving to mornings (who knows though) but there will be “big changes”. Liberal talk? People like Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller? Yikes. Stay tuned, or better yet tune in at 4. I don’t know any more than what I have heard and just told you (Howie same slot, “big changes” but we’ll all find out in about 3 hrs)

Whitey Bulger defense: Lies, lies & lies!
By Howie Carr | Tuesday, August 7, 2012 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Columnists
There are three chances of Whitey Bulger testifying at his own trial next March.
Slim, fat and none.
As a taxpayer, I demand a refund from Whitey’s public defender J.W. Carney. Is this the best you can do, Jay?
Some bombshell — what happened in court yesterday wasn’t even a firecracker.
Whitey was supposed to reveal in court filings this week which G-man gave him “immunity” to kill, like he was the James Bond of the Boston mob or something. I guess they couldn’t find any feds dead enough to serve as the designated goat.
So now Whitey is going to wait until March to spill the beans, or so he says. Never mind that no gangster in history has ever been granted a “OO7” license. But never fear, Whitey can put it across. After all, he convinced everybody at the Globe that he was keeping the drugs out of Southie.
Never mind that his partner in serial killing, Stevie Flemmi, tried to argue that he had immunity up to but not including murder. The judge laughed him right out of court and into Otisville, and the appeals court agreed.
“I guarantee you that punk won’t take the stand,” Boston defense attorney Tony Cardinale was saying last night.
Carney was questioned by reporters outside the courthouse about whether Whitey will answer questions about, say, his brother Billy, the Corrupt Midget, or the 19 murders he’s charged with.
“There is nothing that will be off-limits,” Carney said.
Suppose Whitey does take the stand, and prosecutor Fred Wyshak asks him if he’s ever given cash to any members of his family. Does he take the Fifth, or does he lie?
It doesn’t really matter, does it? Either way, he’s convicted. What’s a five-year perjury rap on top of 19 life sentences?
But who is going to “corroborate” his statement about his “OO7” license? That was another Carney promise yesterday, corroborating witnesses. People who’d perjure themselves in a futile attempt to get Whitey off — that’s a mighty short list of suspects, I’m guessing. The over-under is zero.
I’d love to ask him, “Whitey, is it true about you and the Choctaw Kid, well, you know? And Sal Mineo? And The Dog Room? And Catherine Greig’s brother David?”
OK, so maybe Carney would object on relevancy grounds, but here’s a question from Tony Cardinale.
“Whitey, why’d you strangle Deb Hussey? Because Stevie was (expletive) her when she was underage, or because she was allegedly going to rat out your relationship with the feds, or did you do it just because it was ... fun?”
At which point Carney holds up his hand, with all five fingers extended ... as in the Fifth Amendment.

What’s well or fair about this one, Elizabeth Warren?
By Howie Carr | Thursday, August 9, 2012 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Columnists
The good news is, this letter exhorting the welfare crowd to get out and vote to protect their EBT cards certainly frames the campaign very clearly for U.S. Sen. Scott Brown.
“It’s me — and us — against the machine,” he was saying last night. “It’s us against Beacon Hill, Capitol Hill, Hollywood.”
It’s not enough that Granny Warren, the fake Indian, is raising more campaign cash from the Beautiful People and, yes, the machine, than any congressional candidate in the country. Now Brown has to contend with campaign mailings from the Department of Transitional Assistance, i.e., welfare, paid for by money extracted from the taxpayers — his voters.
“Professor Warren’s daughter sues the state to make this happen, it smacks of hypocrisy,” Brown continued. “You get it, I get it, everybody gets it.”
Yes we do. Deval Patrick is the Paul Revere of the welfare crowd. The Republicans are coming, the Republicans are coming! They want you to get a job.
Demos, the moonbat organization of the fake Indian’s daughter, throws in with the remnants of the corrupt ACORN. They turn up a compliant plantiff with a mysterious past, and before there’s even any discovery in the lawsuit, the state waves the white flag.
And now the commonwealth spends $275,844 to spend out a mailing to almost a half-million layabouts that includes a letter and a mail-in registration form.
“Please note,” the letter says, “that DTA does not verify whether or not public assistance applicants or clients are currently registered to vote or eligible to register to vote.”
In other words, whether they’re illegal aliens. So the answer is yes, Auntie Zeituni, former welfare-collecting illegal, now “refugee,” is getting one of these letters of alarm from Patrick. So is every other illegal in the state. How convenient.
Remember, the RMV no longer sends out notices to motorists that their driver’s licenses are about to expire. No money. But we do have all this dough to alert the illegals and the junkies and the ex-cons. I understand, it’s required under federal law that you have to be offered a chance to register every time you interact with the bureaucracy.
So I’m wondering, when will the state letters be going out to, say, the Gun Owners Action League? They have to register their firearms with the local police, right? It’s impossible to underestimate the gross ineptitude of state government, especially the DTA. And it’s true that when something goes wrong in government and you have a choice to blame either a conspiracy or incompetence, 90 percent of the time it’s the latter.
Still, in this case Scott Brown called it.
“This doesn’t pass the smell test.”

Liawatha (Elizabeth Warren) aka Fauxchahontas is receiving the most funds of all Dem Senator nominees in the USA.
Please, please, God, don’t subject us to this fraud.
